The Things I Carry: Charli XCX

We always like to know what some of our favorite artists carry in their purses (and man-purses)—the essential items that they need for touring or subway rides, the Grammys or any other thing that they might be doing these days, which is why we’ve made it a regular column on the site.

Charli XCX came by FADER offices last week, stopping over in New York before a big show in Russia and a swing back to SXSW. She sat down for an interview—coming soon—then emptied the contents of her studded leather satchel. It was the rainbow-tinted treasure trove you'd imagine: Cavalli perfume, collectible fortune cards, two phones (prepaid US, international iPhone) and daisy rings and barrettes in complimentary shades of spring. For more on Charli's signature look, read her love letter to her high-stacked platforms.
